Donegal County Council is planning to carry out improvement works on the Newmills Bridge this year.
It follows repeated calls from Cllr Donal Mandy Kelly seeking a non-slip surface on the bridge due to safety concerns. The bridge, he said, has had several near-miss accidents in recent years.
Cllr Kelly raised the issue again with the Letterkenny-Milford Municipal District today, to which the council confirmed that the bridge and a section of the R250 are included in the Draft 2024 Restoration Improvement programme.
Cllr Kelly welcomed the response, stressing the importance of work being done this year “before there is a serious accident”.
